CHR 2022 Report: State of Civil Rights and Key Violations
The 2022 report of the Polish Commissioner for Human Rights outlines violations of citizens' rights and freedoms. It highlights systemic issues such as the rule of law crisis, excessively long pre-trial detentions, legislative chaos in the tax system ('Polish Deal'), and the inefficiency of the child mental healthcare system. The document also notes positive actions like aid for Ukrainian refugees but criticizes practices at the Belarusian border and the restriction of the German minority's rights.
Key points
Rule of Law Crisis: The report warns of the undermined independence of courts and the National Council of the Judiciary, leading to chaos in the justice system and questioning of judges' status.
Excessively Long Pre-Trial Detentions: The average detention time has increased to 9 months, and regulations do not specify a maximum duration, violating the presumption of innocence.
Tax Chaos ('Polish Deal'): Hastily introduced tax changes caused mass citizen complaints, lowered pensions, and worsened the situation of single parents.
Inefficient Child Psychiatry: The report indicates a regression in access to psychiatric care for children and adolescents, despite growing needs in this area.
Discrimination of the German Minority: Reducing the number of hours for teaching German as a minority language to one hour per week was deemed a violation of constitutional rights.
Practices at the Belarusian Border: The CHR criticizes the pushback of migrants to the border line, including families with children, which violates Poland's international obligations and the right to seek asylum.
